What are the symptoms of a worn front stabilizer bar bushing?

[McBrielle]

Symptoms of a worn front stabilizer bar bushing include: abnormal noises such as clunking or squeaking during driving and braking, which occur when passing over bumps or uneven roads—not a collision sound, but rather the noise of rubber being compressed. In the second stage, the chassis may produce dull thudding or rattling sounds, resembling blunt objects colliding with each other, noticeably louder than the "thump" sound of the suspension. The stabilizer bar bushings are designed to be installed on the lower control arms of both front wheels, controlling the overall symmetry of the front wheels. Their primary functions are to manage the front wheels' camber angle, maintain the tracking ability of the steering wheels, prevent excessive lateral roll during turns, improve ride smoothness, enhance the overall rigidity of the chassis frame, and increase driving stability.
